Partagas Culebras...how long to age them?

[Ethem]

Hi guys,

As part of my mega haul from ghent, I bought some Party Culebras. They were the only non-regional edition cigars I bought as they were ?24 each coffin. Now, I've never smoked these before so just wondering what time period you chaps who have smoked em recommend for ageing? Any advice is highly appreciated.

Cheers

07s have been sublime.
fresh ones are normal, actually

they aren't exactly partagas... because i actually like them . they remind me of the RASS, actually. Hints of spice but not too strong. always a sharp burn. good fresh but superb when aged 3+ years.

I'd smoke one now and see how you get along with them. if you don't like them, toss em in the humi and forget about them to smoke later. they're assured to be good later! but if not, aged Culebras can fetcha pretty penny or rack up some good trade value[oddly, enough]

I would say they taste like the old Party flav. As long as their a couple of yrs old, I'd smoke them the next time you have mates around for a herf; made for sharing

Nice. They're a December '12 box so I'll leave them till next year then. Cheers gents

Best served with a twist!

I suspect they age like all puros - ready to enjoy after one year, probably best after 3 to 5 years. However, I've found then to be best when enjoyed all at once...but that's just me.

Haha! That's correct, dawg-face...remove the ribbon first!
